Looking forward to this one not only because its a local story, but for a strong cast as well. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm somehow related to John Scalish on my mom's side which is neat. Though its not something the family ever talks about.

It beats Wiki and you can find it on Amazon or at most libraries in this area.

Fabulous book.

Amazing how he was so cocky, and yet they had the hardest time getting rid of him. Looks like it should be a good movie.

The company I worked for had an old location in the Waterloo business district. So close to Danny Green's house that their windows blew out when they tried to blow him up. Rumor had it that he got blown from the second floor to the first, the reality was, he was saved by his refridgerator door. My boss was on a bowling team backed by him.

Anyway, to Lubbers point about arrogance and BALLS. Setting up a trailer on the very spot your blown up house used to be, and sitting in the front yard in a lawn chair. Brass.

Damned guy just errored in allowing his chick to make his dental appointment.

Porcello was an Eastlake cop and not a writer. It was just choppy in parts. I give him credit for telling the story and taking on the huge challenges of getting a book published though.

Yeah, great story, but the problem with the book is it's a pretty tough read, because it's not really written well. If I didn't have big interest in the subject from being around that area, I'm not sure I make it through the book.
